Zelensky says Ukraine has produced a missile with a range of 700 kilometers, twice as large as the "Storm Shadow"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has unveiled a Ukrainian-made “drone missile.” The weapon, according to Ukrainian military authorities, is capable of hitting targets 700 km (430 miles) away, more than double the range of the longest missiles offered by Western allies.

The unmanned aerial vehicle, called "Peklo," which means "hell" in Ukrainian, is the second type of so-called "rocket drone" unveiled by Kiev this year.

The drones, which fly as low as a cruise missile, can reach speeds of 700 km/h (430 mph), Ukrainian state arms manufacturer Ukroboronprom said as the weapon was officially handed over to the armed forces.

British and French Storm Shadow missiles have a range of around 250 km (155 miles), while US-supplied Atacms missiles can hit up to 300 km (185 miles).

Last month, Vladimir Putin tested a new hypersonic missile called Oreshnik by hitting the Dnipro in Ukraine.
